The purpose of this assignment is to get you reading, evaluating, and understanding contemporary research in the field of social psychology. After all, how can you keep up with the field of social psychology after you graduate if you aren’t used to reading articles about new and exciting research!? We are going to DECONSTRUCT (take apart, examine the pieces of) an academic article. If the information below looks at all frightening, please refer to the Social Psych Reader, Chapter 1 “How Sociologists Do Research.”Step 1: Select an article. For this assignment, articles should come from the peer-reviewed, academic journal “Social Psychology Quarterly.” In the past, the students have told me that the hardest part of this assignment was finding the article. If you want to find your own, you may search the library databases for an article published in this journal. Or, you can simply choose one of the articles I have posted below. (If you choose to find your own, please see me to ensure that you have selected an appropriate article.) Most of these articles are from Social Psychology Quarterly, although a few are from other journals that cover social psychology topics. Thoroughly read the article that you selected. Please note: academic articles are usually 10-25 pages long… don’t wait until the last minute.Step 2: After reading your article, “deconstruct” it… tell me what you found. You should address the following questions in your paper:Who was/were the authors?What was the title?What journal did it come from, and what volume and issue was it published in?What is the research hypothesis (what do the researchers want to study)?What research method did the authors use? (How do you know? Justify your answer with information from the Social Psychology Reader.)Was this the best research method, or would another method have worked better? Why do you think this? (You should name an alternative method from the Social Psych Reader in order to best answer this question.)Would the results be different if a different research method were used?How many people participated in the study?What was the goal of this research? In other words, what were the researchers trying to find out?What did the researchers actually find? (Summarize the findings.) Was this consistent with the hypothesis, or different? (Were the researchers surprised?)Did the researchers mention any limitations to this study? If so, what were they?Did the researchers make any suggestions for future research?Write up your results in an academic manner. (Use citations and attach a Works Cited or Reference page.) This paper should be AT LEAST 3 FULL pages long, plus the reference page. (NO LESS THAN 850 WORDS in the body of your paper!).

It’s no secret that the early feminist movement was largely a movement among and for middle-class, educated white women, and we are already seeing in MAKERS Part 1: Awakening that other women – Black women, lesbians, working class women, etc – were pushing back against that limited view of sexual equality. We’ll be getting to the contributions of other women as we move forward in our course, but for now, let’s focus on those very early days of the movement because as non-inclusive and limited as they were they did lay the groundwork for the growth of feminism. To do this, let’s focus on the sorts of situations and injustices that women took on in the 1950s and 1960s, often without really think of the situations or themselves as feminist. This discussion board does not require outside research. Everything you need is in our materials in this module. Choose ONE of the three people/quotes below and then:In one paragraph briefly explain who this person is (age, race, career status, marital and/or parental status, et cetera). Do not do outside research. All you need to do in this paragraph is share what we’ve learned about this person in the materials in this module. In a second paragraph break down the quote attributed to this person: (a) What was the situation/injustice to which the quote refers? Describe that situation/injustice. (b) What does this quote mean? Why did the speaker say this and why did she feel this way? (c) Do you imagine this person a self-identified feminist when she said this? [Tip: You will want to use and define at least one of the key terms from Modules 1 through 3.]In a third paragraph, describe how the person/quote and the situation/injustice involved connect to the feminism movement and its tenets? In what was this individual situation/injustice connected to the political/systemic? How was this individual situation indicative of larger social issues? [You’ll probably want to use and define “the personal is political” and/or “systemic” from our course materials.]Kathrine Switzer: When asked if she was a suffragette or a crusader, Switzer replied “What? I’m just trying to run” but quickly followed that up with “I’m gonna finish this race on my hands and knees if I have to.”Jean Montague: “I was twenty-six at the time, and I thought, ‘I could make a whole career out of this.’ Then I realized I can’t.”Lorena Weeks: When told by a supervisor, “You know the man’s the breadwinner in the family,” Weeks responded “Oh no, when I go through the grocery line in the grocery store, they don’t push back a loaf of bread and say ‘you’re a nice little lady, so you can have this ten cents cheaper because you’re a woman.”

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation to help me understand better.

May 2012, Alice Randall wrote an article for The New York Times on the cultural factors that encouraged black women to maintain a weight above what is considered healthy. Randall explained—from her observations and her personal experience as a black woman—that many African-American communities and cultures consider women who are overweight to be more beautiful and desirable than women at a healthier weight. As she put it, “Many black women are fat because we want to be” (Randall, 2012).Randall’s statements sparked a great deal of controversy and debate; however, they emphasize an underlying reality in the healthcare field: different populations, cultures, and groups have diverse beliefs and practices that impact their health. Nurses and healthcare professionals should be aware of this reality and adapt their health assessment techniques and recommendations to accommodate diversity.In this Discussion, you will consider different socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors that should be taken into considerations when building a health history for patients with diverse backgrounds. Your Instructor will assign a case study to you for this Discussion.To prepare:Reflect on your experiences as a nurse and on the information provided in this week’s Learning Resources on diversity issues in health assessments.By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a case study by your Instructor. Note: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your case study assignment.Reflect on the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors related to the health of the patient assigned to you.Consider how you would build a health history for the patient. What questions would you ask, and how would you frame them to be sensitive to the patient’s background, lifestyle, and culture? Develop five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.Think about the challenges associated with communicating with patients from a variety of specific populations. What strategies can you as a nurse employ to be sensitive to different cultural factors while gathering the pertinent information?Post an explanation of the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you were assigned. Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.

Leadership Impact Plan PaperYour program has provided many opportunities for you to cultivate your competencies as a leader. The Leadership Impact Plan Paper provides an opportunity for you to assess and reflect on your leadership journey and the knowledge and skills you have developed over time to help you guide and provide direction to others. Using the Individual Student Profile information (completed in the first course in your program) as a springboard, consider your growth as a leader and document your change over time as a result of your participation in this program. In a five to seven-page culminating paper, reflect on your personal and professional growth as a leader during your program journey and how those experiences contributed to and will continue to contribute to you becoming a more informed, reflective, and responsive leader in your field. Personalize your reflection by providing examples of how you translated the knowledge and skills you gained in your coursework into practice and authentic leadership experiences and how you will continue to develop your leadership skills. Reflect on the following questions to guide your response:How have you grown as a leader during the course of your program journey?What leadership qualities are most important to you, and how have these qualities been enhanced by your graduate experience?Which leaders in your field or profession have influenced your transformation and why?Revisiting the reflections written in courses, in what ways have your goals or thinking about your profession changed?What are the implications and applications of your learning and leadership for your profession?How can you apply the leadership competencies you have gained or improved to make a difference in your personal and professional life and in the lives of others?How will you continue to develop your leadership skills?Before you begin writing, review the rubric for this assignment. Organize your thoughts so that you have a section in your paper for each of these topics:Reflection – How has your past knowledge and experience guided your growth as a leader?Connection to Experience – What connections can you make between your experiences as a leader and your academic knowledge?Connection to Discipline – How does your work as a leader cross disciplines? How does one field of study inform another?Risk Taking – What risks have you taken while in your program? How have you moved beyond what is comfortable to what is new in your role as a leader?Ethical Perspectives – When have you had to consider ethics in making decisions as a leader?Initiative – How have you demonstrated that you have been willing to take the first steps in a leadership action?
